i watched him a bit tonight and saw nothing more than he has done all year. i was actually pleased to see him do one good run to the d line.

he needs to start getting better. he is paid the big bucks and as such should by now be doing a lot better than he is.

i keep thinking back to my dads comment about when they signed him "lazy and just hangs out in the backline." my dad is never wrong and i have hoped him to be so with blair, but so far, he just hasnt come to the party. its time he stepped up.

In the first half after getting tackled and pushed back 15 metres by the titans D he went missing. He made some decent runs but didnt bend the line or trouble the defense in the secind half. He did put pressure on the kickers at times tho.

I'm not sure he will. I think that we may have to consider the reality of the situation and that is whoever signed him really stuffed up. I think if he doesn't improve soon you have to consider getting rid of him.

Thought he had a solid game myself not brilliant but solid. His defence was great really slows down the play the ball. As for in attack he is playing under instructions and therefore doing what is asked of him-sheens is developing him into a strike back rower as he was clearly set for attacking runs as opposed to the "dirty work" and that's ok -plus every time he does run the ball he attracts 4 defenders and this means gaps outside and gaps on the next tackle. Also he does lots of little things like that pressure play on rankin.
